The NUMEN project: NUclear Matrix Elements for Neutrinoless double beta decay (original) (raw)

2018, The European Physical Journal A

AI-generated Abstract

The NUMEN project aims to advance the understanding of neutrinoless double beta decay through innovative experimental methodologies, specifically leveraging Double Charge Exchange (DCE) reactions to measure nuclear matrix elements. The work highlights significant preliminary findings from experiments at the INFN-LNS laboratory and discusses the essential role of advanced facilities like the K800 Superconducting Cyclotron and MAGNEX spectrometer in achieving these measurements. This research addresses challenging aspects of nuclear structure and decay processes, providing pathways to refine theoretical models and enhance accuracy in predicting the properties of neutrinos.
